knitting.... one for the boys

[toffee]

hmmm...
I read that knitting is suddenly the rage?????
Apparently, everyone on the tube is at it!
women and yes... men too!!

I once saw a room full of burly squaddies sitting knitting... mmmmm but moving swiftly on...

is it true??

surely not

do you knit?

saw an article not to long ago, about "granny squares".....looked simple enough

tried my hand at it....sucked

not my talent.....but have seen some beautiful sweaters and blankets my friends have made....ah well

granny squares I think is crochet tho....right?

 

[toffee]

no, I dont.

When I was younger and could have been taught, I wasnt interested as it was something that grannies did or boring people.
Men certainly didnt do it. (so my juvenile mind thought)

I have found that quite a few men do knit though and this suprised me (sexist I know but there you go)

I know that many of you men will be going oh my god... we take it all back.. Go Away Toffee!!!

but... I just wondered if its true?
are people sitting knitting openly.. is it becoming fashionable?

or will it always be a girly thing?

can any men here knit?

 

[mlb3c]

well, it seems rather sexist of you to open the discussion directing it at men....

although, I can't really complain since I dont (knit)

the title was because ages ago, one of the chaps on here commented about women posting and said something about next thing it will be posts about knitting.
Thats why I opened the post to the boys.
Just a bit of a joke really.

Hahaha good for you I am a woman of many talents but understand a car engine more than I understand a knitting needle!
